She’s the one who has brought musical evolution to the world, but her influence stretches beyond her albums. She’s THE Taylor Swift! You all are definitely no strangers to her impact beyond music – she’s an advocate, an entrepreneur, and the driving force behind multiple global movements. Now, maybe it’s not that far-fetched if her name gets tied to major league baseball as well.
You see, the NFL has already enjoyed the gifts of the ‘Taylor Swift Effect‘. And if we were to go by Joseph Goodman‘s take on it, then Swift will be seen marking her territory in MLB as well. But how? Former NFL coach Nick Saban has some great retirement plans. He is keen to dive directly into the world of professional sports investment with billionaire businessman Joe Agresti.
For now, they are eyeing three or four franchises in Tennessee. Of all the sports, baseball has the highest chances. Adding to the excitement, there is a word out there about a brand new MLB team in Nashville. Yes, you read it right. Why does Saban particularly root for Nashville though? Simply because he already has an active business presence through his car dealerships. He plans on expanding it for a long run as well.

Let’s break down the logistics. Apparently, Saban has collaborated with a property manager, and they are hopeful of getting a property for the future stadium. Let’s not forget here that per MLB commissioner Rob Manfred until 2029, we won’t be seeing any expansion in MLB. Then, what can Saban and Agresti possibly do to speed up the process? Foremost, they can bring in someone with magnetic star power. And it’s none other than Taylor Swift.
Just her presence would give any venture a global appeal. If she additionally offers her reach and branding, it can blend well with Saban’s business image in the southeast. And well, Saban and Swift together would make a winning combo. Don’t you think?
If it all works out well with Taylor Swift and Nick Saban, it’s not far-fetched that we might witness the biggest crossover of sports and entertainment. And guess what? This isn’t the first time Taylor crossed paths with MLB.

Before this buzz, Taylor & Travis were applauded by an MLB icon
Just recently, New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez shared his admiration for Taylor Swift and NFL titan Travis Kelce. After all, A-Rod knows it better than most about what it takes to be a superstar. According to him, it’s rare to witness someone achieving that level of success.
During an interview, he went all in and called Swift: “the greatest performer of all time!”, and well, we can’t deny. The 14-time MLB All-Star has witnessed so many success stories throughout his journey, but he believes there is something truly exceptional about both Taylor and Travis.
He stated, “I’m a big fan of both of them. My daughters absolutely adore and love her [Taylor] as a performer and everything she stands for.” Further, he emphasised Travis’s impressive career and mentioned, “I’m interested to see how he closes his last few years of his career because she [Taylor] might be the greatest performer of all time, and he may be the greatest titan of all time.” His statements served as a reminder of the influence Taylor and Travis have in their respective industries. And both of them as a couple? Truly adorable and sensational, to say the least.
